pain is not relative. tears are neither a sign of weakness nor strength, but above all they are not a sign of pain. tears mean you can swim, you can remain afloat despite the murky depths grasping your last breaths. but feeling pain and not being able to cry, that means you drown. that means there's a crater inside of your heart that no amount of magma and tephra could fill back again, that there's a hollow that no amount of love could repair.
so when people ask me if i don't care because i'm not crying, that my pain is lighter, so light that i can't express it, they're wrong. the mineshafts inside of me are being dug with no prospect of gold nor diamonds being found.
so i will not cry. i will merely sit and stare at the void in silence, the void so dark and expansive, the void now tearing me apart.
People here are hating on finnster so I guess I'm gonna remind y'all that gender expression is a massive pile of horseshit and people who treat it like a game are pretty cool, regardless of how they identify
